Thanks to my adventures in bible journaling, I’ve really wanted to improve my hand lettering skills. My sister, Mallory and I went with Lisa to a class in Huntsville last week taught by the amazing Jacki Gil of Salt + Paperie. It was so much fun. (If you are in our area, Jacki is planning several other classes, including a watercolor one that sounds just great!)
I’ve searched for hand lettering tutorials online and found a few good ones I thought I would share, in case you are interested as well. Kyndall really enjoyed these, too, since she missed learning cursive. (When she was in second grade, cursive was taught in third grade according to the Alabama state standards. The summer after second grade, the standards updated and cursive became a second grade standard. Her class got lost in the switch.) She has loved watching and learning with me, too.

This is a great time to get started with Bible Journaling if you haven’t already, because the ESV Journaling Bibles are about to be re-stocked on Amazon. Better get yours quick though–judging by Instagram comments, they’ll go fast!
